In the parts book 610 on the heads page all numbers are crossed out and with
pens is written V912-######(if anyone wants the right number its in the shed)
Their was a cooling problem with the late 610's with the 5 speed and 4.1

Very much right on with not real L18SSS engines for long they stopped making

Only the 1972-73 610SSS had the high Hp engine,with flat top pistions 9.5.1.
>From 74 they have dished pistons and are 8.5.1.
